In my opinion, if its a good movie you want it in wide screen, but if you are just getting a random shitty movie with no special scenes or anything, just like a comedy or something, you might as well just get full screen. Hardly anybody has a widescreen TV in this day and age, and if its just a comedy I don't really care, I would just rather have a bigger picture.
Thing is, watching a comedy in fullscreen will not give you a bigger picture. You're still getting a compressed image. So you may as well watch it in Wide.
